"A LETTER received here on Sat
nrday by Mr.. NJ. G. Moseley from Mr.,
W. B. Suhlett, of Monroe, states that
an engineering corps of the Pine Bluf,
Monroe and Alexandria railroad, (this
is the Houston, Central Arkansas and
Northern railroad, represented here a
short while back by Mr.. Charles NJ.
Kight,l commenced the survey of their
line from Monroe the morning of the
Esd inst, and are now pushing on
dewn toward Alexandria. 1t seems
that the result of the railroad conven-
ton, which met in Monroe in July
1854, for the purpose of adopting meas
ures to attract the attention of CAPT.
talists, and secure railway facilities for
North and Central Louisiana, is about
to consummate in the construction OF
several lines of railway between Red
river and the Mississippi. Those who
took an active part in that movement
are entitled to much credit. Alexan.
drla is especially to he benefited as it
is the vertex of all the projected lines

lieve CIuverius innocent. The al
most painful anxiety on the part OF
many who preferred to believe him
guilty that he should make a con-
fession reveals the presence Of an
ugly doubt. To the very last he
maintained his innocence. Such ex-
ecutions do incalcnlable Mischief
Had he been sentenced to solitary
confinement for life, the public mind
would have rested in the feeling
that the penalty of law had not put
him absolutely, as now, beyond all
recall in the possible event Of his in

The text is the utterance ofloyalty.
Keep the law. Honor it as ordain-

philosophy to urge the abolition OF

Strange, isn't it, that while Gu.
verius never drank liquor, the jury
that convicted him consumed over
gallon of the vile stuff while making
up their verdict Yet this seems to
be the case. At least the brother
OF the doomed man, in his last APP
peal to the Governor for executive
clemency, among other things, says:
81 am also reliably informed that
during the trial whisKey was sent to
the jury with the compliments of the
sender, and retained and drank by
members of the jury. This occurred
on two occasions, once one gallon
was sent, and at another time three
gallons. This was sent to their
rooms at the Exchange Hotel"

FOR SHAME.

In the name of common decency,
humanity and morality, we protest
against a repetition of such an act
as that of Cluverius' hangman, who
to crafty a Yankee spirit OF specu-
lation in a morbid curiosity and de-
PRAYED taste, substituted fantastic
silken chord, or rope, at the applica-
ton of a knave, for hempen one,
provided for the execution--the de-
sign of the individual being to
have the same given to him after
the hanging to be divided and sold
as mementos.
The act nearly produced a most
unfortunate incident-the silk being
very elastic, the victims toes very
nearly touched the ground when the
trap was sprung, and in consequence
of the soft and yielding character of
the material, the neck could not
have been broken by the fall, thus
producing unnecessary suffering con-
trary to the policy of law which re-
quires the taking Off to be attend
ed with as little physical suffering
as possible. Charleston NoapGrt6l.

Aroma of Red Cedar.

The aroma of red cedar is fatal to
house moths; the aroma of black walnut
leaves is fatal to fieas. 1t is a matter of
rDmmon observation that persons en-
gagged in the business of making shingles
from odoriferous cypress timber in
malarial districts are rarely if ever
affected by malarial diseases, and that
persons engaged in distilling turpen.ine
do not suffer from either malarial dis
eases or consumption. 1t is said that
when cholera was epidemic ia Memphis,
Tenn, persons working in livery stables
were entirely exempt from it. 1t is
affirmed that since the destruction of
the Glove trees on the island of Ternate
the colony has suffered from epidemics
unknown before; and in times when
cholera has prevailed in London and
Paris those employed in the perfumery
factories have escaped its ravages. -Bos-
ton Journal of Chemistry.

In view of the recent mistrials in
this county and Doddridge, land
the same is apparent in nearly
every county in the State) and con-
victions for lesser one, it is useless
to disguise the fact that the fixing of
juries and the manufacturing of tes
timony has become science, and the
producing of perjured testimony Is
considered as a matter of course,
until it is impossible to convict u
man unless he is poor, or too friend
less to fee lawyer who is able to
+" fix" jury. 1t has come to this
that lawyers and court officers do
not select jury for competence, but
the question they ask themselves
first is" What is the jurors politics9"
and next, sis he personal friend of
myself or the prisoner 2" Banking
on those points they feel safe that
no matter what the evidence there
will be no conviction. In this coun-
ty we have known cases where the
result was announced as soon as the
jury was impanneled. For instance,
ga hung jury, seven for the plaintiff
and FIVE for defendant" The result
showed the "jury-fxer" knew his
men, and after the jury were in the
box he could predict with certainty.
This may read romantic, but it is an
actual fact. Jurymen are cajoled,
bribed, threatened, coerced. Polit-
ical scalawags interest themselves
to save their fellows from the penl-
Tertiary or the gallows. And there
are very few risks in the way Of sub
ornation of perjury which a sharp
criminal lawyer will not run to save
a client who has money.
This state of things is altogether
inimical to the progress and pros
perity of the nation. Every repub-
lie whose fall has been recorded 10
history has dated its decay from the
days of corruption in its courts OF

DEATH OF THE GENTlAN.

Now open, o Gentianl your eyes of deep
blue,
Your lashes are dripping with mornings
fresh dew.
The south winds are calling me; Gentian,
awake,
IT'S. Zephyr, your own love, that bids you
awake.
So gently she opens her dreamy blue eyes,
And then in the arms of the zephyrs she dies.
Across the sere marshes the northern winds
blow,
And lay DER the Gentian a vesture of snow,
And crystal star flowers around her they
strew;
Then over brown grasses the zephyrs pursue.

THE FAIRY'S GIFT.

II wish my fairy would come to-day
And brush the dust from these rooms
away;
"The cobwsbs. too. on the ceiling high,
Empty traps with never a fly
How horrid they lookI upon my life,
The torment of every tidy wifel
"I wish my fairy my place would take
In the kitchen, and let me see her bake
"For I'm so weary 1 really dread
The thought of kneading batch OF
bread"
Her husband heard her wish that day,
But scarcely heeding it turned away.
At night he locked his Office door,
And gladly entered his home once more.
As round the cosy room he glanced
His eyes with pleasure fairly danced.
The fire-dogs of polished brass,
For FURNISHED gold would almost pass.
His easy chair was in its place
Beside it beamed smiling face.
No wonder that be turned to her,
Half husband and half wOrshipper.
And said, Some fairy has had full sway
In every mock of our house to- day."
Forgotten were dust and cobwebs high.
And there was light in somebody's eye /;
For the heaviest tasks that burden wife
Grow light when they brighten another's
life. -Woman's Magazine.

DeceitfuI Real Estate Blooms

In St. Louis, as In all hourishing cities
of the United States, there is considera+
BILE activity and strength in the real
estate market at present, and yet the
best uusIuess property is quoted at only
a little higher figures, about $4,000 a
foot, than are demanded in the young
iron town of Birmingham, Ala. This
fact shows the wild character of the
boom in some centars of speculative
growth. st. Louis is equal to twenty
Birminghams in population, and at the
utmost possible rate of progress the
Alabama town could not reach the pres
ent state of the Missouri metropolis in
less than fifty years. In other words.
the real estate market is half a century
ahead of the general development of the
city. Such anticipation Of the future
is madness. Land cannot be kept out
OF proportion to all other interests, and
there is nothing more certain than that
bitter experiences await Birmingham,
Rome. Ga, Wichita. Kan, and many
other towns which are too confident and
greedy. ALI of them will doubtless
make rapid progress in every solid form
of growth, but speculation must COL
lapse and many paper fortunes shrivel
up. Fifty years ago real estate sold in
some of the busiest and best parts Of
Buffalo at prices almost as high as could
be obtained today, and yet Buffalo has
prospered steadily, and is many times
as big and rich as it was then.-Cleve-

Buying and Selling Abroad.

A Democratic contemporary wants to
abolish the tariff so tnat we can sell
more goods abroad" 1t argues that a
free trade country can make goods
cheaper, and therefore sell more than a
prntected country. If that Is the case,
Great Britain, free trade country,
ought to be selling US more products
than we sell to Great Britain. The
British exports to the United States
amounted TO Sl54,254,054 in 1885. The
United States exported products to the
amount of nearly $3.50. .OOO.O 900 to Great
Britain in the same year. Free trade
assertions do not agree with the facts.
To this some free trader may reply
that if we can produce goods cheaper
than free trade countries, what is the
use of protective tariff? A good an
swer to that would be that if the tariff
does not prevent us from making goods
cheaper than anybody else, it certainly
does no harm, and might as well be let
alone, and it is all the answer such an
argument is entitled to.
1t is a good thing so sell goods abroad.
But It is of more consequence that our
people at home should first be fully sup
piled. Cheapness is good thing, in a
certain degree, but cheapness becomes a
sin when achieved at the cost of human
want and suffering conditions which
attend cheap production in all countries
which have low wages tariff or no tariff
at all.
A protective tariff shuts out food of
British goods which are cheaper, though
not SO good, as any we can produce of
the same kind. The goods we buy of
English merchants are all below the
level of profitable production here. The
goods that England buys of US are goods
she cannot produce IN sufficient quantity
for her own people.
Our great industries were created by
a protective tariff. For many years the
tariff was an absolutely necessary bul
wark of defense for all of our manufac>
turing industries. 1t enables US to re-
pei the fierce attacks of European arm
les of cheap labor upon our more en-
lightened industrial system. Shall we
tear down that bulwark merely because
the enemy has been repulsed and has
been repulsed and has withdrawn from
the fight at one or more points of con-
tact9 The American people do not be-
lieve in any such foolish poiicy.-Clev.

All the way to heaven is heaven.
Economy is of itself great revenue.
